PREFACE 





here are probably more nursery rhymes in 

China than can be found in England and 
America. We have in our possession more than six 
hundred, collected, for the most part, in two out of 
the eighteen provinces, and we have no reason to 
believe that we have succeeded in getting any large 
proportion of what those two provinces contain. 

In most of the rhymes there are features common 
to those of our own “ Mother Goose,” 2mong which 
are those referring (1) to insects, (2) animals, (3) 
birds, (4) persons, (5) children, (6) food, (7) parts 
of the body, (8) actions, such as patting, grabbing, 
tickling, etc., (9) professions, trades and business. 

We have triea o reproduce the meaning of the 
original as _nearly as—possible; this has not 
always been an easy task. Let it be understood 
that these rhymes _make_no_pretentions to literary 

















true to the original, and which will please English- 

speaking children. The child, not the critic, has 

always been kept in view. | 
Attention is called to the affection manifested 














y @ mR -. 














in such rhymes as “Sweeter than Sugar,” “Sweet  ¢2ii 
Pill,” “Lite Fat’\ Boy,” and “Baby is Sleep- “’) 
ing.” There is no language in the world, we 
venture to believe, which contains children’s songs 
expressive of more keen. and tender affection than 
those we have mentioned. This fact, more than any 
other, has stimulated us in the preparation of these 
rhymes. They have been prepared with the hope 
that they will present a new phase of Chinese home 
life, and lead the children of the West to have 
some measure of sympathy and affection for the 
children of the East. 

The compilation was much facilitated by the 
work done by Baron Vitali, of the Italian Legation 
in Peking; Rev. Arthur H. Smith, author of 
“‘Chinese Characteristics;” Miss Mabel Whiting, of 
Peking; Miss Mitchell, of Chinkiang; Mrs. 
McClure, of Honan; Miss Chalfant, of Shantung; 

Mr. Chao Tsz-chi, Chinese Consul at New York; 
Mr. Yamamoto, of Peking, and Rev. Chauncy 
Goodrich, of T’ung Chou, while the entire work 
is due to the fact that our attention was called by 
Mrs. C. H. Fenn, of Peking, to her old nurse 
repeating these rhymes to her little boy. 
' The illustrations have all been prepared by the 
translator specially for this work. .

MIXED 


aye" outside my door, | heard 
someone say, 


A man bit a dog in a dangerous way; 

Such a message I n’er for a moment 
could stand, 

So I took up the door and I opened 
my hand, 

I snatched up the dog I should say 
double-quick 

And threw him with all of my force 
at a brick; 

The brick—I’m afraid you will not 
understand— 

I found in a moment had bitten my hand; 

I mounted a chair, on a horse I was 
borne, 

I blew on a drum, and I beat ona horn.

Sat a bald-headed crone.

In which she was trying 
To wear a jade pin. 
She put it in once, 
But once it fell out; 
She put it in twice, 
But twice it fell out.

With a great deal of trouble; 
His wife hobbles after, 
Her body bent double.

Is as thin as a rail, 


And their rat-fearing cat 


Is minus a tail.
